About this audiobook

“Battlestar Galactica meets Master and Commander.”

With human civilization on the brink of collapse from famine, privateer Captain Cassandra Farren seeks to escape her troubled military past by signing up for the Avalon Expedition - a desperate multi-national mission to explore a distant nebula in search of life-saving resources, led by the energetic and optimistic Doctor Elizabeth Ancelet. Cassandra, Elizabeth, and their crews face not only division within the Expedition itself, but an unexpected new threat: a fanatical alien race who will stop at nothing to eliminate outsiders.

Grounded in a rich sci-fi universe inspired by the age of sail, The Sojourn is an epic interstellar adventure told entirely through audio, with a cast of veteran voice actors, immersive sound effects, and a sweeping original soundtrack.

“The Sojourn is a melange of rich storytelling, superb sound effects, and well-written characters that sound so real it's like you're in the shuttle beside them. There's a lot to enjoy in this immersive, fun audiodrama." - Jeremy Szal

“It's my first audiodrama and it sets the bar very high! Really high quality sound effects and talented voice actors bring the story to life like nothing else.” - Matterbeam, ToughSF

Starring Larissa Thompson as Captain Cassandra Farren, Emily Serdahl as Director Elizabeth Ancelet, Laura Faye Smith as Tamara Melari, Ben Prendergast as Mathias Croft, Stephen Trafford as Inquisitor Castian Vadric, also featuring Matthew Kaufman as Lieutenant Jasper Ravi, and Lelia Symington as Empress Valendra the Sixth. Written by Daniel Orrett, sound design and audio editing by Kennedy Phillips, music by Sam Redfern.

A wonderfully written universe, with a variety that refreshes sci-fi. It's political and military drama continually expand the story, ramping up the listener for a long term investment in characters and the series as a whole. Only lacking in fleshing out as a full written novel or television series could bring.

You know, I backed the kickstarter and a couple days later became really woried. Spacedock seemed to want to create as realistic a Sci-fi setting as posible but my worries were that this would take away focus from other important stuff like characters and plot. Turns out I was worried over nothing. Thanks to the fact that most of the worldbuilding has been done elsewhere exposistion is kept to a minimum and the focus is on the characters, their relationships and strugles. The characters and their actors have done a fantastic job, sure some lines are cringeworthy but they really are a joy to listen too. The plot wastes no time in getting started, just after half the first episode we have already left the tantalus cluster and gone into an unknown nebula. What follows is a story filled with mystery, politics, and pyhisics based porblemsolving. Recomended for any fan of BSG, Firefly or the Expanse.

Everything I expected and more from devout Sci-Fi fans like the cast and crew of this masterpiece. I haven't felt this excited by a new series since The Expanse. This is my first audio book but I felt completely immersed. Hats off to everyone in production of this, you've punched a big space for yourselves in genre and I'm waiting on tenterhooks to see what you do with it. Fair Winds
